Chapter 30
B-12 was released from the chains.
The strands of hair on his forehead were wet and clung to the mask. "Price?"
"have."
The leader of the secret guards opened his palm and found a pill.
"Three days of drunkenness. The antidote will be sent to you regularly, and you will no longer be a secret guard."
Three-day drunkenness is a poison. You have to take the antidote once every three days, otherwise you will die in your sleep. It is a very mild poison. They considered that if Yi Twelve forgot to take it, this kind of death would not scare people.
They were not imprisoned by His Majesty's side, but by the prince's side. In the final analysis, from the moment they entered the palace and became secret guards, they lost the right to freedom forever.
He was still alive because he had only been in the Dark Guard for a short time, but even so, he still had to take an extra layer of poison as a precaution, as he was putting his life in the hands of a child.
Yi Twelve tilted his head back and swallowed it.
"Also, His Majesty has instructed that the Seventh Prince cannot stand the smell of blood. It is best not to show up until your wounds are healed. If the Seventh Prince insists on seeing you, make sure to get rid of the smell."
Yi Twelve supported himself against the wall and staggered to his feet.
"knew."
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
The leader of the secret guards thought he was going to make a farewell speech, so he stood up a little straighter, prepared to cooperate a little and comfort him.
B Twelve: "Willn't that mean that after becoming a secret guard, I can still receive monthly silver?"
leader:"……"
Yi Twelve pondered: "Which one is better, being a secret guard or babysitting?"
“…”
"Where will I live in the future? How long will I work every day? Are there any requirements?"
The leader resisted the urge to kick him, "Get lost!"
-
The sun shines through the window frames.
Qu Dubian stretched lazily. God knows how much sense of security the remaining thirty days of life gave him when he woke up every morning.
Gone are the days of waking up feeling antsy and doing Tai Chi.
"Where is Yi Twelve?"
Simulator: [200 meters from host.]
Qu Duanbian didn't know at this time that Yi Twelve belonged to him, and he was thinking about it by himself.
The real-time distance sensing cannot exceed 300 meters. If it exceeds this, it will be ineffective. It could not be sensed before.
So now it seems that my cheap dad has released Yi Twelve, and this distance... seems to be guarding my cheap dad?
But no matter what, after he made such a fuss, Yi Twelve should not be executed casually again.
It’s a good thing to save the big meal tickets in the future!
After practicing Tai Chi and having breakfast, Qu Watanabe planned to go out for a walk. Currently, there are too few people with whom he can improve his favorability. He was trapped in Ju'an Hall before and could not contact too many people. Now there is no restriction.
Go out for a walk more often and see if you can meet him.
At this time, the emperor had not yet left the court, and there was no one in the entire Purple Palace who could control him! He, Qu Duanbian, the current boss of the Purple Palace.
He pulled at Ye Xiaoyuan's hem and took a step forward, "Ye Banban, hurry up, or you may not be able to walk later."
"Your Highness! Your Highness, why don't you keep the incense burner?" Eunuch Bao was exhausted from taking care of the child. "This is the little incense burner that His Majesty loves the most..."
The little prince likes the fragrance made by His Majesty himself very much. He will hold it and smell it whenever he has free time these days.
Just hold it if you want, why do you carry it with you when you go out?
The golden gilded incense burner is of great value in terms of craftsmanship alone. It is even inlaid with a lot of jade. Some people think that gold and jade are tacky, but Qu Watanabe doesn't think so. He loves them very much.
"I'll go out and play for a while, it won't break anything. His Majesty has told me to play around." When he reached the long steps of the Purple Palace, with long smooth stone boards on both sides, his eyes lit up and he handed the incense burner to Ye Xiaoyuan.
"Xiaochun, I want to slide down."
Wen Xiaochun responded, lifted up his skirt and walked quickly to the steps, stood under the long board, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please come down."
Qu Dubian slid down with a swish.
Eunuch Bao screamed, "Your Highness!" Turning his head, he saw Ye Xiaoyuan was calm, and stamped his feet anxiously, "Eunuch Xiaoyuan, didn't you try to stop him?"
This is simply crazy. If you get hurt, you will be punished by being beaten!
Ye Xiaoyuan: "Your Highness, it's more dangerous when you're swinging on the swing. I'm used to it. Xiaochun is here, nothing will happen." He smiled and softened his tone, "Besides, Your Highness is thinking about us."
Eunuch Bao: “???”
He glanced over with horror.
Is this guy crazy?
Ye Xiaoyuan: "Your Highness just doesn't want us to carry him down the stairs, for fear of tiring us."
Qu Watanabe had already reached the bottom safely. He turned around and waved at him, "Ye Banban!"
Ye Xiaoyuan said to Eunuch Bao: "Your Highness is young, but he is the one who cares most about us servants. Eunuch, I will go first."
Looking at the backs of the master and servants, Eunuch Bao suddenly came to his senses and beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Incense burner! Incense burner! That's something the emperor uses!!"
If it falls and breaks, it will be a sin!
Wen Xiaochun and Ye Xiaoyuan pretended to be deaf, "Where are you going to play, Your Highness?"
Qu Watanabe: "Imperial Garden?"
In palace fighting dramas, the emperor’s refresh point is the favorite of concubines, so you must go and see it.
-
The news that the emperor wanted to select a concubine to raise the seventh prince topped the list of discussions in the harem.
Some concubines who claimed to be ill and seldom came to Fengwu Palace to pay their respects to the empress have been coming more and more frequently in recent days.
No matter how unlucky the Seventh Prince is, he is still a prince, and those of them who have no children are not fools.
His Majesty allowed Concubine Rong to raise the fifth prince as an exception. That was an exception among exceptions.
The empress he chose to raise the seventh prince had to be the queen, or at least a concubine.
There are currently seven queens in the twelve zodiac signs in the east and west, five of whom have princes, so it is impossible for them to be selected by His Majesty.
The only two queens left were Concubine Xuan and Concubine Liang, who had no children.
However, Concubine Xuan has been in seclusion for many years and has not seen His Majesty, and Concubine Liang is still under house arrest for competing for favors, so naturally they are not eligible.
Therefore, there is a great possibility that His Majesty will choose one of the noble ladies and promote her to be a concubine - or even a consort - to raise the Seventh Prince.
This is a great opportunity to soar to the sky!
Not to mention other hidden benefits, the monthly salary of concubines and imperial consorts is much higher than that of noble ladies.
If they didn't seize this opportunity, with so many high-ranking concubines with children above them, how long would it take them to gain enough experience to get ahead?
Therefore, these noble ladies and maids who felt they were qualified to compete frequently ran to Fengwu Palace to find out the news about Zichen Palace and the preferences of the Seventh Prince.
The queen was extremely annoyed and claimed to be ill and excused herself from paying respects to him for the next few days.
Your Majesty has made it clear that the Seventh Prince will not be raised by her, the Queen. This matter is too deeply tied to the previous dynasty and also involves the ancestral and old systems.
Her involvement in these matters has only brought harm and no good.
At this moment, a group of concubines were driven out of Fengwu Palace, each with their own thoughts.
A little palace maid ran over on the palace road in the distance, and breathlessly reported to her master: "There's news from the Purple Palace, saying, saying that the Seventh Prince... the Seventh Prince..."
"I'm so anxious, what happened to His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
The little palace maid finally caught her breath and said, "His Highness the Seventh Prince has gone to the Imperial Garden!"
Bang!!
The young palace maid received a slap on the face.
Her master said angrily, "Bitch, don't you know how to keep your voice down?"
When I looked up again, I saw that the people around me who had just called each other sisters were now walking very fast and all heading in one direction.
-
Imperial Garden.
There are no bare corners in places frequented by the emperor.
Cold winter.
There are plum blossoms in full bloom here.
Huangmei is cool and elegant, with a subtle fragrance, adding a touch of chill to the winter. I don't know what kind it is.
Qu Dubian, holding the small incense burner, saw from afar the Sixth Prince trying hard to climb the plum tree.
The fifth prince held a porcelain bottle with a stern face and watched the sixth prince climb the tree.
After climbing for a long time, there was no movement.
Qu Duanbian waved his hand: "Fifth brother! Sixth brother!"
The Sixth Prince turned his head and asked in surprise, "Seventh Brother? How are you?"
"My sixth brother and I originally wanted to visit you, but our father said not to disturb you while you are recuperating." The fifth prince added.
Qu Watanabe: "Thank you, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, for remembering me. Didn't you go to the academy?"
The Sixth Prince clapped his hands and let go of the tree trunk. "I heard that the school has been moved from the Third Hall to the Second Hall. They are still cleaning up. I will go there the day after tomorrow."
"Sixth Brother wants plum blossoms, why not ask them for help."
The palace maids and eunuchs serving the prince are not just for show.
"My mother has not been feeling well these past two days. The imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital have come several times, and she is also in a bad mood," the Sixth Prince sighed worriedly, "Whenever my mother is in a bad mood, she will ask me to recite... I will pick plum blossoms to make her feel better. I must pick them myself."
So you dragged the Fifth Prince here to hold a vase and stand with you in the cold?
Qu Dubian glanced at the Fifth Prince. It was obvious that the other party was used to this kind of thing. Perhaps he was afraid of dropping the bottle. His hands were frozen purple and he didn't pull them into his sleeves.
I don’t know how long the Sixth Prince will fight with this tree. If it takes too long, the Fifth Brother will still be a child, and his hands will definitely not be able to write.
"Fifth brother, hold this for me for a while."
Qu Dubian took the vase and put it on the ground. He gave the incense burner to the fifth prince. The fifth prince was a little overwhelmed, "Seventh brother..."
"Your Majesty's incense burner."
The fifth prince's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter, "Father?"
Qu Dubian stood on tiptoe and hooked the Sixth Prince's neck, "Compared to plum blossoms, does your mother like His Majesty more?"
The Sixth Prince thought about it and said, "Yes."
"Are incense burners and plum blossoms both fragrant?"
"yes."
Qu Watanabe: "Then you give the incense burner - the ashes inside - to your mother, right? She'll like it better."
"..." The Sixth Prince fell into deep thought, "It seems so. But why don't you give me all the incense burners?"
Qu Watanabe: "You can't give His Majesty's things casually, but you and I get along well, so I can secretly give you some ash." He said without blinking, "This is the ash given by the emperor, it's very special."
The Sixth Prince looked at him for a moment, then suddenly wailed and hugged him, feeling extremely touched: "Wow, Seventh Brother, you are so nice. I used to think you were annoying. As long as Mother is in a good mood and doesn't ask me to recite, I will be nice to you in the future!"
Qu Dubian nodded with a smile, and the two of them took some incense ash from the small incense burner and poured it into the vase.
Ye Xiaoyuan and his friend, who witnessed the whole process of how their little prince fooled people, said: We are happy and relieved. Our prince is so cute looking so healthy and lively.
The maid of Xiuxiang Palace who witnessed the whole process of how her Sixth Prince was deceived said: She was hesitant to speak, sighed, and thought, forget it, it has always been like this anyway.
Qu Watanabe generously shared some of the ashes bestowed by the emperor and saved his fifth brother's hand from being frozen purple.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and when I listened again, I found that the footsteps came from all directions.
The palace maids around them were also confused, and they circled around and bowed to the nobles and concubines who came from all directions.
The ladies, dressed in some elegant, some graceful, and some charming styles, came quickly, their hairpins swaying lightly, adding countless colors to the imperial garden.
However, because they walked too fast and their faces were too gloomy, at first glance, there was an indescribable sense of oppression when the concubines walked side by side.
Qu Dubian held the small incense burner, looked up and looked around, feeling emotional. Did they think their cheap father would soon leave the court, so they came here to wait for someone?
Just as he was about to drag his fifth and sixth brothers away, he suddenly heard a queen shout, "The seventh prince is there!"
In an instant, all the ladies focused their attention on the shortest child in the middle, and they smiled gentle and lovingly (like a wolf or a tiger).
“…”
Qu Dubian put his hands in his pockets as he watched the fun, his smile frozen on his face and his pupils trembled.
This battle was directed at him???
